moving on

 

I'm always a little sad at the end of Winter to pack

my crochet blankets away.

 

All during the cold weather

they have been snuggled in and cuddled in.

They have been cried on and laughed in.

They have been fought in and fought over.

 

For now they are clean and being packed away.

 

Next Winter will be very different in my home

with my kids growing up and moving on.

 

So I guess I will be making blankets for their homes...

 

and cuddling the pets that are left behind.

so far

 

The weather has been a little cooler

and at night I like to crochet.

 

So far I have covered two coat hangers

 

made a snuggly warm cowl

 

 

started a bright , fun scarf

 

gotten quite a bit of ripple done

 

and begun to join some squares .

 

Not bad for a hooker .

just a little ripple

 

I love to crochet .

I can't read a pattern and I am all self taught .

I don't know the names of the stitches.

All I can do is look carefully at someones work

and try and copy it .

Although I have been crocheting since I was a small grub

I haven't gotten far past the very basics.

 

But I don't mind as I don't need to put my glasses on to crochet

and I can almost just lie down and do it .

I don't need to think about it much at all

 

especially when I'm doing repetitive stitching like in my new granny ripple .

 

I've even joined in with a group of girls in a ripplealong .

 

It's great watching everyones progress .
